Trail Patches for Warm Weather Hiking and other T-Shirts

I know a way to get trail patches on warm weather clothing.  Sewing patches on would make then heavier and not breathe as well.  But many of us now and days have "all-in-one" printers.  So, why not put that scanner bed to work?  Honestly, the trail agencies should sell them like this.  Maybe they should increase the price of the sewn patch and offer 2 iron-ons that come with it?  Using a scanner isn't everybody's thing.  If your a volunteer and a member of something like a chapter, you might be able to get your agency's headquarters to approve this as a fundraiser for it?  You should also make sure that you have an exclusive deal, too.  It's fair to the other chapters because it's likely that this will only last for a certain period of time.  There's also the fact that you asked first. 

Once scanned, it should probably be saved as an image file, such as ".jpg" or ".png" format.  T-shirt press paper can be purchased from your local big box office supply store.  While not entirely necessary, one might want to position as many patches on computer software as possible so that they don't have to waste paper on just one.  This is a thermal transfer paper that uses an iron, steam, a pillow sheet and the image on the t-shirt paper itself.  It only works with an inkjet printer (lasers won't work).
